Looks like I have my inspiration for another CAB article. :D
:drooling: very nice Walter :good: Please post more pic's if you take it out of it's 2x2 :winkextra:
oh woow!
My knowledge about Gold sovs and half's is very limited.
What makes this different to the other 1887 Sydney half sovs Walter?
It's the crenulated reverse type, McD lists for 1880, 81, 83 with 1882 unverified. 1887 hasn't even been heard of.
Fabulous find Walter.
Please post some more pics.
Super find!

Have you talked to Tony Byrne about it Walter?
Will you send it to PCGS?
Yeah, it has light hairlines, hopefully it'll slab.

If a new discovery with a defect such as hairlines such as this coin is given a
Details grading how will they put it in the population report? (Will the report show a count of Zero?) Do they ever include an image of a
Details coin on the population report page if there are no other coins known?
I love cruising the PCGS population report to see what is out there (far superior to the NGC population report) but the one thing NGC does better is it also has a
Details census.
A PCGS entry is made for it but the line is not visible on the pop report.

I wish we could see the error coins that they have graded as well. You would enjoy seeing my broadstruck sovereign.

PCGS number ?
Yes, the number would work too.

I meant that it would be good to see all the different kinds of errors they've graded on a population report, although I can see how it could be a bit difficult, what with all the different kinds of/degrees of errors.

Wouldn't be that hard. If PCGS wanted to they could have a second population report for
Details coin and a third population report for
Errors. There are not that many error coins graded for each year and denomination so they could probably all be shown that way. Then also have a
Search function to look for the various types of error. Could for example lump all the clips together (single, double, triple, crescent etc); off metal strikes together, flip overs and double strucks together, broadstrikes and out of collars together etc. Could even find the same coin in different categories through the
Search function as some error coins have multiple errors.
The grading fee for error coins is a bit steep so if PCGS wanted to encourage us collectors to pay that sort of money to get them slabbed they need to consider an
Errors population report and
Errors set registry
